The Worcester Masonic Temple is a historic Masonic temple Located at 1 Ionic Avenue in downtown Worcester, Massachusetts. Construction on the temple began on September 12, 1913 with the laying of the cornersone. The building was finished and dedicated on September 3, 1914 by the then Grand Master, Most Worshipful Melvin M. Johnson.

The building is an excellent instance of a Classical Revival building. The three story buildings's main facade is defined by eight Ionic columns (which supposedly gave Ionic Avenue its name), four on each side of central entry that is topped by a stone pedimented entablature. The spaces between the other columns are filled by windows topped by rounded arches. The interior of the building features a drill hall and banquet hall on the ground floor, a "Grecian" chamber on the second level, and an "Egyptian" chamber on the third, as well as housing a Gothic chapel.[2]

The temple was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.[1] It continues to be used by Masonic lodges.
